The 15th Annual Robert Classic French Film Festival — sponsored by Jane M. & Bruce P. Robert Charitable Foundation and co-presented by the Webster Film Series — celebrates St. Louis' Gallic heritage and France's cinematic legacy. This year's featured films span the decades from the 1920s through the 1990s, offering a revealing overview of French cinema.

The fest annually includes significant restorations, and this year is no different, touting a brand-new restoration of Claire Denis' "Chocolat," which is the filmmaker's debut feature. The fest also screens the seldom seen "Martin Roumagnac" in a new restoration, starring Marlene Dietrich and Jean Gabin in a riveting crime thriller.

Every program features introductions and discussions by film or French scholars and critics. All films are in French with English subtitles.

The Jane M. & Bruce P. Robert Charitable Foundation is the event's title sponsor. This festival is co-presented by the Webster Film Series.

Free parking is available in the lots both in front of and behind Webster Hall; no permits are required on weekends.
